“Odd how anti-vaxxers never answer the simple question. Do more people die with or without the vaccine?
UK Deaths per 100K by vaccines status:
* Unvaccinated - 462.2
* Vaccinated - 50.5
* Boosted - 24.5”
Yep, that’s the data I was looking for. It’s the one that matters. If correct, you’re about 10 times more likely to die if you’re not vaxed than if you’re vaxed.
But the likelyhood you’ll die is pretty small in either case. The survivability rate according to that data is 99.5% if you’re unvaxed vs 99.95% if you are.

That is a very cogent point. One problem with the anti-vax nonsense is it does a disservice to the actual debate. The “Bill Gates is installing microchips” and “viruses don’t exist” crowd are loud enough to make anyone who questions Covid orthodoxy look like one of a bunch of nutters.
In the UK Covid is killing a couple thousand people a month, most of them already elderly and/or ailing.
Is that worth taking preventative steps? Yes. Is that worth shutting down the entire economy? Absolutely not.
